Skinny Crunch Light Peanut Butter

Barcode 5056315500006

Yes — Skinny Crunch Light Peanut Butter is ultra-processed.

Not a great choice for everyday eating.

This product is ultra-processed because it contains several industrially processed ingredients and additives: oligofructose, polydextrose as a bulking agent, glycerine as a humectant, palm oil, glucose syrup, natural flavouring, and soya lecithin as an emulsifier. These ingredients are characteristic of industrial formulations under the NOVA classification. The milk chocolate-flavoured coating and ready-to-eat crisped cereal further indicate a highly formulated product. Enriched wheat flour, sugar, rapeseed oil, peanuts, oats, peanut butter, and standard fortification nutrients do not independently make it ultra-processed.
